Eight of this week's ten are Summer Showcase nominees, which is what the catalogue watched in the last week before the awards. The two that aren't tell the better story: PREMIERE sits at No. 4 with no nomination at all, and There Are No Children premiered Thursday and charted on four days of a seven-day window.
Next board
01
Every play on PREVO counts, from anywhere on the platform. Only the last seven days are measured, so nothing carries over and no film can coast on an old week.
02
The comment box under every film. Notes count as heavily as plays, and we pass the best of them straight to the filmmaker. Talking about a film moves it as much as watching it.
03
The board closes Sunday at 11:59 PM CT and goes up Monday morning, exactly as the week ranked it. No editorial thumb on the scale.
Watch what you want, say what you thought, and the board takes care of itself.
